Christina Aguilera's story is a
Hollywood dream come true. The daughter
of a father in the military and a
violinist/pianist mother who toured
Europe with the Youth Symphony
Orchestra, this18-year-old has
traveled the world, living for a time
in Japan, Florida, Texas and New Jersey,
before settling in Wexford, PA, a suburb

"I wanted to perform as long as I could
remember" says the blonde, blue eyed high
school senior. Christina first began
performing in school talent shows. As
an eight-year-old she appeared on the
nationally syndicated "Star Search", at
age ten she sang the National Anthem for
the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins, and
then, at age 12 landed a spot on the
"New Mickey Mouse Club" appearing on
the Orlando-based show along with
several other future stars, including
Britney Spears, J.C. and Justin of 'N
Sync and the star of "Felicity", Keri

After two years on the weekly Disney
show, Christina traveled overseas to
further hone her musical skills. She
recorded a duet, "All I Wanna Do," with
Japanese pop star Keizo Nakanishi,
appeared in the video and toured in Japan.
Later that year, the young show biz
veteran almost caused a riot at the
Golden Stag Festival in Transylvania,
Romania when she waded into the crowd
of 10,000 while performing her two song
set on a bill which included Sheryl Crow
and Diana Ross.On her return to the
States in early 1998, Christina was
invited to audition to record,
"Reflection," for the Disney animated film
"Mulan." The studio's search for a
powerful voice with a wide vocal range

They needed someone "who could hit a
high "E" above middle "C," according to
Christina. At her manager's request,
Christina cut a one take demo on her
boombox in her living room singing to a
karaoke tape of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna

The demo was FedExed to Disney -- they
loved it -- and within 48 hours, the
young girl with the unique mature voice
was in a Los Angeles studio recording
"Reflection". That very same week RCA
Records signed her to a record
contract. Mulan premiered in June, 1998
and "Reflection" turned into a Top 15 A/C
single, with Christina performing it
live on "CBS This Morning" and the
"Donnie & Marie Show." "The song's
theme -- the struggle to establish your
identity -- was something I could really
relate to as a teenage girl myself," says
Christina. The song also related well to
critics, garnering a Golden Globe
Nomination for best original song in a

On her debut album for RCA, Christina
continues to define herself and
showcase her special voice. From the
sparkling upbeat dance-pop of the first
single, "Genie In A Bottle," to the
guitar driven, heartfelt fun of "What A
Girl Wants", to the soulful gospel
strains of "So Emotional" and the truly
awe-inspiring ballad, "I Turn To You",
Christina's powerful affecting voice
intertwines the themes of finding your
own identity with the uncertainties of
growing up."I was thrilled to work with
so many great producers on this album"
gushes Christina. Recent hitmakers Carl
Sturken & Evan Rogers ['N Sync, Boyzone,
Brand New Heavies] contribute a pair of
tracks -- the pop-soul "Love For All
Seasons" and the rousing dance-floor smash
"Love Will Find A Way." "Genie In A
Bottle" was produced by ex-System
member David Frank and Steve Kipner.

The uncomplicated, heartfelt "Blessed"
was penned and produced by Travon Potts
[co-writer of Monica's chart topping
"Angel of Mine]. Christina is specially
proud of her ballads, including the
Matthew Wilder ["No Doubt"] produced
"Reflection" and the spine-tingling
Diane Warren ballad "I Turn To You",
produced by Guy Roche [Brandy, Dru
Hill, Aaliya, K-Ci & Jo Jo]. Her
soaring uptempos and thrilling ballads
serve as ample proof that Christina is
not just a new kid on the block, but a
prime candidate for the Voice of her
generation. This debut album marks
another huge step for Christina down the
road of commercial and critical success.
